My Mistress Twilight

"Today is going to be a good day! Twi asked me to watch the library while she talked with Him." He dosent have a name anymore, well Twi calls him Servant, but I cant bring myself to. Its kinda mean, but he does have to do what she says.

That thought makes me smile a little. Shaking my head I unlock the door and flip the sign to Open. A slight yelp from the basement makes me laugh.

"I remember when Twi busted me for swearing......."

~Flash back, 3 days after Owlicious moved in with us~

I sat on the steps and looked at the owl. He looked back without blinking.

"I don't like you."

"Who?"

"You."

"Who?"

"You!"

"Who?"

"YOU!" I was standing by this point, yelling and pointing at this redundant bird. He didn't answer, his response was to tilt his head to the side. "I hate that bucking bird!" I mumble as I walk away. "A damn waste of space he is!"

"SPIKE!" Twilights voice sounded off to my right, scaring me also causing a small lick of flame to appear. I cringe, I can tell that she isn't pleased. "COME HERE!" Her tone was level and quiet, but i could hear her anger just writhing just beneath the surface. I hung my head and slunk over to her slowly, dragging my feet all the while.

"Yes Twilight?" I mumbled.

"What, did you just say?"

"Yes?" I say, hoping that was what she was referring to, but knowing fully that it wasn't.

"No, I was referring to the two highly inappropriate words you just said." I could hear the anger in her voice being slowly mixed with disappointment. And Celestia did I hate it! "I am really disappointed in you, you should know better!" She exclaims, gently prodding me in the chest with a hoof. "I raised you better than that!"

I was holding back tears the whole time, but that last part made my self control falter and before I knew it I had boiling hot tears rolling down my face. She sighs.

"I don't know what to do, but trust me I'm going to make some repercussions so that you don't ever say words like that again." She turns and walks out the room, leaving me there crying silently.

"I'm sorry." I manage to whisper, but I knew it was too late. Sniffling I dry my tears and stomp outside angrily This is all that birds fault! He's trying to muscle in on my job! Bucking, horseapple eating, dirty whorse! I wont loose to him!

Later that night I got my punishment, lets just say I couldn't sit down for a few hours. And I am also afraid of belts now too.

"Hey Spike wheres Twilight?" Pinkie calls to me, yanking me out of my thoughts, making me jump. "My ears are flopping, hoofs are twitching, and my tongue is itchy! That means someones in trouble with Twilight!"

I smile at the bubblegum colored pony. "She's in the basement teaching Him a lesson about swearing."

"Him? Who's that? I know everypony in ponyville, but I dont't know anyone named Him! Is he new? HUH?!"

I open my mouth but am cut off by the flood of words starting again.

"OH! YAY! That means I get to throw him a superfantastariffic PARTY!"

"Pinkie."

"Do you think he likes pie? I'll make some pie! That'll be new for my parties, did I tell you that? I'm going to add pi-"

"PINKIE!" I yell.

She stops talking and looks at me sheepishly. "Sorry Spikey Wikey!"

"It's okay, but as I was trying to say, He isn't new, well he is sorta..... Do you remember that guy from like a week ago that attacked Twilight?"

Her eyes narrow and her hair starts to deflate a bit. "You talking bout that menie weenie that hurt her really bad?"

"Yes, him."

She growls a bit, I chuckle. I couldn't help it, Pinkie is one of the nicest most caring ponies I knew and like a bottle of soda that has been shaken for a few hours, ready to burst with happiness.

"What does he have to do with this?'

"Well, He is kinda living with us. As his punishment that is- He has to serve Twilight until He dies, and she can make him do anything and He has to do it or face Princess Celestias wrath." I sigh and run my claws over my scaled mohawk.

"Really? He has to do anything and everything she says? Does that mean if I asked her too, she could make him have a 17 hour party with me??!?!?!?!?!" She was in my face, with her classic ear to ear gin on.

I blink and step back in surprise. "Um, I guess so." She smiles even harder and I hear the familiar noise of a true smile- SQUEE!

"YAY! I'm going to have a really superfantastariffic party after all!" She is prancing in a circle and I shake my head.

"Is there something that you needed?"

She stops mid hop and looks at me. "Now that you mention it...Nopey dopey! I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. But I need to get back to Sugarcube Corner now, I have muffins in the oven!"

"Better make sure Ditzy doesn't hear about them." I say laughing at the thought of the muffin obsessed pegasus flying through Sugarcube Corners wall for muffins.

"Okie dokie lokie, then  Spikey Wikey! Stop By later, I have a new rescipie youd like!" She says as she exits the library.

"Kay, bye PIknie!" I wave after her for a moment then walk back to the desk and lay down on it.

Well that was interesting, but talking to her always is. My thoughts are interrupted by Twilight slowly walking up to her room.

"Hey Twilight, You still want me to watch the library?"

"Hm? Oh no, Servant can do it." She says tiredly.

And sure enough He follows a short time later, limping pretty bad.

"Hey, Um, I have to go and run some errands. So can you watch the library for me?"

He opens his mouth but timidity closes it nodding.

"Thanks, Guy. I'll be back in a few hours."

True to my word, I came back two hours later, and found Him sitting at the desk looking sad.

"Hey are you okay?" I ask gently.

He jumps at the sound of my voice and stands quickly nodding. He watches me set up the desk, bows and hobbles out of the room.

Whats wrong with him? I wonder, but push it out of my mind.
